The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Mabch 7, 1907. 



ITHACA, N. Y. 



The evening of February 25 was dedi- 

 cated to carnations at the Lazy Club, 

 which is the official organization of the 

 horticultural department of Cornell Uni- 

 versity. At the solicitation of W. H, 

 Griffiths, gardener of the department, a 

 number of varieties of carnations were on 

 exhibition. The merits of these were 

 studied and compared by students and 

 visitors. The extraordinary improvement 

 which has taken place in the commercial 

 qualities of this flower in recent years 

 was noted and commented upon. 



Collections of blooms were received 

 from John E. Haines, Bethlehem, Pa., 

 who forwarded an exceedingly instructive 

 and interesting group, largely of his own 

 origination. 



The F. E. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, 

 N. Y., showed Winsor, Melody, Helen 

 M. Gould, White Enchantress, Rose-pink 

 Enchantress and Eed Lawson. The in- 

 teresting feature about this exhibit is 

 that Gould, White Enchantress and Rose- 

 pink Enchantress are all sports from the 

 original Enchantress. The F. R. Pierson 

 Co. I'egard these as among the leading 

 commercial varieties which they grow. 



Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass., showed a 

 fine vase of Beacon. 



The Cottage Gardens Co., Queens, - 

 L. I., presented the display with a col- 

 lection of some fifteen seedlings, show- 

 ing a great variety of color and form, 

 and illustrating in a general way the pos- 

 sibilities of careful breeding when ap- 

 plied to the carnation. Many of the 

 seedlings were of high merit. 



The Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, HI., 

 provided a striking vase of that hand- 

 some carnation. Aristocrat. This variety 

 illustrated in splendid fashion the best 

 points of a good commercial flower. For 

 itself, it attracted much attention from 

 visitors. ^ ^, 



The United States Cut Flower Co., El- 

 mira, N. Y., showed a general collection, 

 prominent among which were Enchant- 

 ress, Red Lawson and White Lawson, as 

 well as the original Lawson, Bountiful, 

 Fred Burki, Vesper and Mrs. M. A. Pat- 

 ten. 



It is needless to say that the exhibit 

 provided both instruction and inspira- 

 tion to the large group of students who 

 had the privilege of examining and study- 

 ing it. 



Providence, R. I.— The Hall & Lyon 

 Co. driig store now has a violet sale each 

 Saturday, using 30,000 to 50,000 a week. 

 They are sold in bunches of twenty-five 

 at 19 cents a bunch and attract many 

 people who would not otherwise visit the 

 store.
